Anyone who is a morning person in Europe won’t be too thrown off by their downtime, though night people will be, with it scheduled for 4:00 pm GMT on January 17th until 4:00 am GMT on January 18th.

As long as you sign into your PSN account between now and the start of the maintenance, you’ll still be able to play online and access apps, though the PlayStation Store and Account Management won’t be accessible at all during the downtime. So if you’re near your PS3, sign in!
